Africa-Press – Kenya. <\/strong><\/span>Former Machakos Senator, Johnson Muthama has hit out at wiper party leader, Kalonzo Musyoka following his remarks about his availability for talks with Deputy President William Ruto.<\/p>\n

This comes after Kalonzo publicly declared that he was open to negotiations with the DP’s party ahead of the 2022 General Election.<\/p>\n

\u201cIf you hear them looking for me, tell them I am available because Kenyans must consult. If they want to reach out to me, they are most welcome,\u201d Kalonzo stated.<\/p>\n

In a bare knuckle attack, Muthama claims that the Wiper party leader is a selfish politician who was only looking out for himself in order to secure a job.<\/p>\n

He further accused the former Vice President of using the Kamba community’s votes for political survival ahead of the 2022 polls.<\/p>\n

\u201cThis man has no stand, neither does he know which direction to take the Kamba community because he is always engulfed in self-aggrandizement at the expense of uplifting the living standards of the people he purports to lead,\u201d Mr. Muthama further remarked.<\/p>\n

The ex-lawmaker further stated that it’s high time the Kamba community to join UDA party stating that it has a guarantee of forming the next government in the upcoming general elections.<\/p>\n

Muthama likened the wiper party leader to a hyena that split into two trying to decide which way to go.<\/p>\n

\u201cKalonzo Musyoka\u2019s tough choices are nothing but an old story of a hyena that split into two, trying to make a choice on which homestead was preparing meat. He is torn between which side of the bread is well-buttered. He is looking for a job,\u201d he added.<\/p>\n

However, this is not the first time Muthama and Kalonzo have confronted each other publicly.<\/p>\n

On May 1, 2021, the two engaged in a physical confrontation at a burial in Mitaboni, Machakos following Kalonzo’s remarks on Muthama’s ex-wife Agnes Kavindu.<\/p>\n

Kalonzo,who was the last politician to speak at the funeral service threw a jibe at Muthama stating that he will return Muthama’s wife after the upcoming 2022 General Elections causing tempers to flare.<\/p>\n
